IHS Girl Up

Girl Up is a campaign of the United Nations Foundation that creates programs to secure access to good health, education, and safety for underprivileged girls in developing nations such as India, Ethiopia, Guatemala, and Malawi. IHS Girl Up is a branch of the organization that hosts interactive service events to provide members with exposure to the issues faced by girls around the world and how the programs remedy them. These events include speaker sessions with powerful advocates for girls rights from the Bay Area, a bikathon to provide bicycles to girl in Guatemala to reach school safely, and fundraisers with presentations at local schools.
